Mr. Jibbly

I'm mad that Canada STILL doesn't have the DLC.

Really? I could swear I had organ control before that. Then again I turned Organ Wait and Organ Assist off at the start.

I actually didn't have much trouble against That Man, or Diva. The trick with That Man is to not be locked on all the time since Sol walks during lock on and runs otherwise, making it much easier to dodge the firepower (especially the moving walls) and take out those assistants. Diva was really cool during the ground running, but like it's already been said once you figure out her patterns (which are telegraphed a mile away to boot), she's really easy. This is all with my experience in Hard Mode as I skipped easy and normal. However, the mission that was the bane of my existence was mission 8 "Water Drop". Holy crap I hated that mission. The prior mission Dr. Paradigm is quite effective as his troops just swarmed the balls off you, yet as soon as they make him your partner he can't even defend himself against a tiny group of reinforcements? So you gotta constantly give him your personal attention with Sol all while keeping your own base from being crushed. Gah.

I may be willing to do that, cause that's a damn fine idea. Here's my own Sol drawing I did a couple days ago:

Oh right, that move. Didn't consider that. Didn't know the actual use caused an AoE damage... It's called Crimson Jacket btw. As for the Blast Drive, you misunderstood me. I'm talking after landing from an aerial maneuver the moment the player touches the ground, I've seen them enter a blast drive (seen it in the Sol combo vid on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeU_CH89pSM ) Several times you see the guy Blast Drive ON landing, which I can't seem to do. Ever.

Okay so I've been playin it up, on about mission 8. And I've noticed on a game trailer that a Sol player performed a combo (standard operations gattling) and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do. In the trailer he was doing his Side+X wide swips, and then went into a firey punch, then ended it with some kind of body explosion where he kinda released energy from himself and AoE'd everyone around him. Any ideas? Also I've been having trouble linking cancels. I don't mean Modern Cancels, but stuff where (I've seen in videos) the player can instantly enter a Blast Drive on landing, where as the best I can do is enter one a little bit after landing (seemingly no matter how I time the stick click). What's also frustrating is I can't find ANY gaming forums that discuss this game other than this place and GameFAQs, and even then Dustloop only seems to have this thread and nobody's discussing any combo/mechanics at GameFAQs. Help is much appreciated here.
